Statewide rules

  • North Carolina law bans scrap tires, large appliances (white goods), computers and TVs, lead-acid batteries, used oil, oil filters, antifreeze, yard trash, aluminum cans, plastic bottles, wooden pallets, and oyster shells from landfills. Lithium-ion batteries join the list on Dec. 1, 2026.
  • Each county has to provide at least one site for scrap tires, paid for by the scrap tire tax on new tires. Bringing five or fewer of your own tires takes no paperwork.
  • In North Carolina, local governments run the household hazardous waste programs: some counties have a permanent drop-off, and others hold one-day collections. Each county's page says where its hazardous waste goes.
